After his landslide victory[3] in last month's Bradford West by-election, here's footage of George Galloway being sworn in as an MP earlier today. His supporters were the Father of the House, Conservative MP Peter Tapsell, and Labour MP Gerry Sutcliffe.

At 0:58 seconds, Galloway is seen to apologise for almost treading on Michael Gove's toes. With typical politeness, the Education Secretary, a self-described neoconservative and no friend of Galloway's, simply replies: "congratulations".
